About fish and chip van hire in CT16
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for birthday celebrations and staff lunches and team days.
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.

Occasions we serve in CT16
People book a chip van because it is food and a bit of fun at once. The van becomes a focal point, and the food is hot and plentiful.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We are often booked for:
- Festive get-togethers
- Birthday celebrations
- Evening wedding food
- Company team days
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so it is crisp when it is handed over.
Questions to ask before booking
- Any minimum charge
- The cancellation terms
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- How late numbers can change
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- A short menu helps everyone
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm allergies by email
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
CT16 questions
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
